I *Knew* ya'd come out to play. :)Smells like a GREAT idea. Now question is ... did anybody THINK about that? Hmmm. EVERY railroader has crescent moons in the iron with their name on them as well as wheel flats. Happens. Anyone who worked the Brighton line or WPR or Jerome can tell ya what happens when the iron gets a bit juicy. But as far as I read the specs when I was howling to myself over them before 9/11 caused the data to vanish faster than you can say OSAMA, they were INTENDING to use the VERY same "counter circuits" which make those announcements so much fun. PROVEN reliable enough for route announcements, and EXPECTED to be JUST as accurate for CBTC. :( Ever wonder WHY us "railroaders" are snickering like we are? There's DOZENS of "realroad" variables that were NEVER considered. And I won't even BOTHER going off on the RF propagation, multipath and interference issues again. :( |
